Chicken Cobbler

Last night I tried a new recipe out on the family called Chicken Cobbler. BD and I liked it, the kids, not so much. I think this will be one we wait and try out again when the kids are older.


Chicken Cobbler (adapted from Southern Living)

Ingredients:
6 TBSP melted butter, divided
4 cups cubed sourdough rolls (I bought a loaf of sourdough bread and cubed 4 cups)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 TBSP chopped fresh parsley (I just used some dried, just sprinkled in)
2 medium-size sweet onions, sliced (I used one med/lrg and diced it)
1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup white wine (I had to use cooking wine, as I finished off my open bottle the night before!)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup drained and chopped jarred roasted red bell peppers
2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used 2-20 oz cans and drained and shredded, next time though, I'll buy rotisserie and use it instead)

Directions:
  1. Toss 4 TBSP melted butter with cubed bread, Parmesan cheese and parsley, set aside.
  2. Saute onions in remaining 2 TBSP butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat 15 minutes or until golden brown. Add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in wine, soup, peppers and chicken. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until bubbly.
  4. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and top evenly with bread mixture.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until golden brown (mine baked 13 min.).

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

No, I don't mean Christmas, I mean football season! PM is now mostly playing defense and had a few good tackles during last Saturdays game. DQ is excited to be able to stunt. It should be a great season, as we won our first game 26-0!
